Surrender to Freedom with Avalon & Jenna

Shibari is a unique and sensual art form that involves tying geometric patterns and shapes with rope that contrast with the human body’s natural curves. The ropes and their texture provide contrast to smooth skin and curves. In Shibari, the model is the canvas, the rope is the paint and brush, and the rigger is the rope artist. Originally developed as a form of capture, torture or presentation of prisoners by the Samurai, it has developed over time into a sensual art form.

Avalon is an Italian-Australian rigger known for his sensual and attentive bondage. Involved in BDSM for over 20 years, he has been fascinated by the intrinsic beauty of Japanese Rope Bondage since seeing a Japanese bondage show in Paris in the late 80s. In his pursuit to improve his skills and knowledge in Japanese Rope Bondage he regularly travels to Japan to study, a student of many renown masters.  Avalon has developed his own distinctive style, his floor-work is fluid and sensory, relying on triggers and sensitivities of his model to lull them into a forbidden world. His style keeps faith to traditional Japanese bondage where mind, edge and predicament play are key factors of the tying process.

Avalon is active within the Australian and Italian Japanese Rope Bondage Community, he is a one of the instructors at the Sydney Rope Dojo & has performed in numerous international rope events and regularly conducts Japanese rope workshops in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. Avalon performs with Jenna, his partner and rope model, she has a back ground in dance, yoga and personal development, this gives her the perfect core strength and mind set to endure and enjoy Avalon’s demanding ties.
 
Jenna loves exploring edges and the intimate connection between two people through rope, where the world disappears and what is left is 2 beating hearts. Rope has been a vehicle for Jenna to let go and feel completely free to surrender into the moment with Avalon.  Avalon’s rope is geared towards deep connection with one's partner and exploring all sensory aspects of sensual tying, Haruki Yukimura style, the ties are measured to the person being tied, they often include a little mind fucking, which is something that Avalon is particularly good at, with his partners!
